The Jetair management has informed the union on September 26 and October 3, 2006 that the commencement, continuance and acting in furtherance of an illegal strike was punishable under the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947. The management has warned that employees participation or inciting or abetting could lead to dismissal of service.

The management informed the Union that the company was an Air Transport Service industry and hence the appropriate government was the Central Government and not the State Government. The notice of the strike under the provisions of MRTU and PULP Act, 1971 was bad in law, misconceived and untenable.

Consequently, any strike pursuant to the notice of September 21, 2006 was illegal and inviting punishment and the proposed strike is in contravention of the provision of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947.

The union had raised the demanded for framing a bilateral policy for promotions before the Conciliation Officer, Maharashtra Government, who rightly did not entertain the demand of the union because the same did not fall within the purview of the law.

The management emphasizes that promotion is its prerogative and the union has no right to interfere with the same. The management has always exhibited transparency and fair policy in promotion issues. Nevertheless, the management had invited suggestions from the Union in formulating a promotion policy.

Unfortunately, the Union did not respond and was totally uncooperative and have adopted unlawful and coercive actions, which would be dealt with severely.

JetAir wishes that none of the employees are subjected to legal action for illegal, unreasonable and rash action on the part of employees or unions.
